Wilson Security
Wilson Security is an Australian private security company. It was started in 2000 in Melbourne. In 2014 it acquired the security contracts of ISS A/S Security in Australia and First Security Business in New Zealand.[1] Wilson Security is a part of the Wilson Group which is owned by Sun Hung Kai Properties, the corporation of the Hong Kong–based Kwok family, one of the richest families in Asia, currently run by Raymond Kwok (previously also run by Thomas Kwok until he resigned after being found guilty of corruption).[2][3]
In 2015 it was a subcontractor of Broadspectrum at Australian offshore detention facilities (the others being managed by Serco at the time). At the time, Wilson had been working on Nauru since late 2012, and on Manus Island since February 2014.[4] In 2015, Wilson Security and Broadspectrum/Transfield were accused of providing misleading information to the Australian Parliament, and covering up malpractice at the Nauru Centre and the extent of a spying operation against Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.[5]
